Below is a question we get often about bacon and other processed foods. I've been doing these "Is x food Paleo" posts lately because it seems there's still a lot of confusion about what is and what is not Paleo.

I just received an email from a vegan chef, touting the new movie with T. Colin Campbell, "Forks Over Knives". Why someone would send ME a link to a vegan propaganda movie is beyond me, but then again it fueled the fire for this blog post... Anyway, T.
